Kraft, Kellogg, Hershey and Mondelez Whet Appetite for Food Stocks

Chicago's FMI Connect allowed investors a chance to get up close and personal with some big names in food.

Mondelez International is another food stock with well-known brands that offers investors profits from international growth.

Kraft and Mondelez were once part of the old Kraft and when the company split in 2012, Mondelez gained such familiar household brands as Oreo cookies, Nabisco and Tang. Activist investor Norman Peltz has been pressuring the management of Mondelez International to make changes to enhance shareholder value. It must be working because the stock, which trades around $37, is up nearly 6% for the year to date.
